Choosing Your Blog Topic?

Choosing Your Blog Topic?

The toughest part of starting a new blog, is deciding what you are going to write about! It sounds cliché, but in all honesty, if  you choose something you are passionate about, you are much  more likely to succeed. Choosing a blog topic you have little or  no interest in just won’t cut it. When you are passionate about the topic, your blog content will show it. This is what readers are looking for.
Let’s break down your potential blog topics into three categories; Personal, Branding, for Profit.

The Personal Blog 
There is nothing wrong with having a personal blog, as long as you fill it with personal content. It would be very difficult to create a personal blog, then try and monetize it down the road. The majority of personal blogs are never meant to generate income, but instead simply to inform, and are
usually a first attempt at creating a blog. If you are going to create a blog for profit and potentially sell it the future, be sure not to use your actual name as the domain name, as this limits its use for anyone else.

Branding Blog 
What are you good at, or known for? Whether it is your business, profession or even a hobby... blogging for branding is a great idea. As a “brand” blog, you will want to continually add new posts about your expertise and keep all topics tightly on target with your niche topic. Once you establish your creditability and audience, advertisers in this same niche will flock to advertise on your blog.

Blogging for Profit 
Some want to blog for profit, but it takes more than creating a blog with a few affiliate links. It’s not easy to make money through blogging, but with full dedication and a business mindset from the start, it can make your success that much easier. An excellent way to blog for profit is to find a product or service you have an interest in, and build a blog around it.  Continually build up content, reviews
and resources to become a top blog within your niche community. It is also important to do the proper research and see if that individual product already has an affiliate
program you can tie into.
